I suggested two “tax-selling” ideas November 30:

> APE, at $1.05, which closed at $2.56 yesterday.  As explained back then, APE is identical to AMC (if not better) . . . yet AMC sells for more than twice the […]

(Not least here in the U.S. […]

But first:  I had the wrong link for Putin yesterday.

Seeing Putin fail so miserably — despite being smart (and more trustworthy than the FBI) — makes me really happy, too.

Oops.  Sorry.

And now:  Republican Chief Justice Warren Burger.

The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of […]

Seeing Nancy Pelosi happy — “Nancy Pelosi: Liberated, And Loving It” — makes me really happy.

So well deserved.

Will PRKR make me happy?

Given his pivotal role, this extensive Politico profile may be worth your time.

He’s the right man for the job.
